qScript One-Step SYBR Green qRT-PCR Kit, ROX

The qScript™One-Step SYBR® Green qRT-PCR Kit, ROX™ is a convenient and highly sensitive solution for quantitative RT-PCR of RNA templates (qRT-PCR) using SYBR® Green I dye detection and gene-specific primers on all Applied Biosystems real-time PCR systems except the 7500. cDNA synthesis and PCR amplification are carried out in the same tube without opening between procedures. The system has been optimized to deliver maximum RT PCR efficiency, sensitivity, and specificity. The proprietary reaction buffer has been specifically formulated to maximize activities of both reverse transcriptase and Taq DNA polymerase while minimizing the potential for primer-dimer and other non-specific PCR artifacts. The kit is compatible with both fast and standard qPCR cycling protocols. Highly specific amplification is essential for successful qRT-PCR with SYBR® Green I technology, since this dye binds to any dsDNA generated during amplification. AccuStart™ Taq DNA polymerase contains monoclonal antibodies that bind to the polymerase and keep it inactive prior to the initial PCR denaturation step. Upon heat activation at 95°C, the antibodies denature irreversibly, releasing fully active, unmodified Taq DNA polymerase.
